Are the Forza ones the same ones you see on Ebay

I believe he sells them on eBay too, message him first about what mods you have etc and go from there. I could be wrong but doesn't he also have a website?

My forza was from ebay, described as 'for open air filter and exhausts'.
For an off the shelf item it works nicely with a K&N and SL carbon cans

The Forza eprom comes with good clear instructions, dont rush it, dont be heavy handed, simples !
Had to bend the Forza prongs slightly,done on worktop using thin bit of wood,very simples

Right the buggers in,noticed the ECU had been previously opened.The chip had PA08 stamped on it,I presume thats a factory one

99% sure that's the standard one mate. Did you mind and set the two doofery gadgets to 12 o'clock? Can't remember their names....

thinking where the hell are they.It was only once id sealed it back up that I noticed them on the side

So when fitting, do you need any of the "gunge" that's on the original chip? I assume it's anti-vibration stuff, and not bathroom sealant?

No.
They do go overboard with the adhesive on the standard chip.
No real need for it TBH.

Maybe just check once in a blue moon that it's seated OK but that's it.

More importantly, get the thing in the right way round, discharge yourself before working (no Pete & squid - not like that - just make sure that you contact ground to discharge any static build up) and keep your grubby mitts off of the pins.
Make sure you don't bend the pins when pushing the chip into the socket.

Fitted and runs, so didn't fry it! Bit reluctant to start, but think that's cos it's on the open airbox map, just need to put some connectors on the cut wire (or just find an open airbox!)

Trial over the weekend! Although don't expect anything as extensive as flatlander's right-up!

Simple and to the point will be just fine...
